Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 368344

(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9a2pre) Gecko/20070126 Minefield/3.0a2pre
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9a2pre) Gecko/20070126 Minefield/3.0a2pre

Minefield CVS has recently lost bookmarks completely. After updating my repository and rebuilding, the bookmarks menu shows no bookmarks (nor ctrl-b sidebar nor the organize bookmarks window). My personal toolbar is completely blank, and right-clicking on it shows a tiny (~6x6 pixels) empty window. I can't add bookmarks, neither with ctrl-d, nor from the organize bookmarks menu, nor by dragging and dropping, etc.

The behavior persists if I remove my profile directory and start from scratch.

History does work.


Reproducible: Always




my mozconfig options:

ac_add_options --enable-crypto
ac_add_options --enable-optimize
ac_add_options --disable-debug
ac_add_options --enable-default-toolkit=gtk
ac_add_options --disable-tests
ac_add_options --disable-freetype2
ac_add_options --x-includes=/usr/X11R6/include
ac_add_options --x-libraries=/usr/X11R6/lib
ac_add_options --disable-svg

I don't think this is a duplicate of that bug 319196. The bug is really that I can't add bookmarks at all, not that they aren't saved. My toolbar isn't reset, it's just completely blank and does not work. The problem can't have to do with a corrupt profile because it occurs even if I completely wipe my profile.

I would have said bug 368344, or the one it was actually a dupe of, from a few days after the nsMicrosummaryService.js.in -> .js move. rm -rf your objdir, or browser/ if you build in the tree (Ghu help you), and if it still doesn't work, what's in your error console after you set javascript.options.showInConsole to true (or, what's in your console on a debug build)?

That sounds like it might be the same bug. (I'm getting "BMSVC has no properties.") I thought this was a clean build, but I'll try again and resubmit with more information if it doesn't fix it.

Thanks, removing the objdir does fix it.
